Overview
The Cusimax CMHP-B101 is a 1500 watt single cast iron hot plate with 7 thermostat controlled heat settings and a 7.4 inch cooking surface, built for a second burner rather than a full range replacement.
Its size and portability make it a stand in for a full stove in a dorm, RV, camper, or office, or a way to cook outside when frying strong smelling food. Because it is a plain electrical heating plate rather than induction, it works with any pan material, but that also means the surface itself gets hot rather than just the cookware.
- 1500 watt cast iron hot plate
- 7 thermostat controlled heat settings
- 7.4 inch cooking surface
- Non-slip rubber feet, overheat protection
Pros and cons
- Works with any type of cookware, not just induction ready pans
- Heats quickly across 7 settings
- Genuinely portable for camping, RVs, or office use
- Control knob reported to fail or stick on high in some units
- Knob can be bumped on accidentally
- Surface itself gets hot, unlike induction
Performance notes
The 1500 watt element and 7.4 inch cast iron plate heat quickly enough that owners boil large pots of soup on a mid setting, and it works with aluminum, copper, cast iron, and non-magnetic stainless cookware since it heats by direct contact rather than induction.
